Nutrients are special things that our bodies need to grow and stay healthy. They are like fuel for our bodies, just like how we need food to give us energy. Nutrients come from different types of food, like fruits, vegetables, grains, and meat.

You might have heard about vitamins and minerals - these are types of nutrients that help our bodies work properly. Vitamins can help us have strong bones and healthy skin, while minerals keep our muscles strong and help our brains think well.

Remember to eat a variety of healthy foods so that you can get all the important nutrients your body needs!
